Thir3een.

The "Thirteen club, :" which annually sits down at dinner on Friday, thirteen strong, brides itself on having over- thrown the so-called superstition that thirteen is an unlucsy number. In point of fact the club has shown that 1t is as ignorant of the nature of il-luck as it is reckless in tritling with it.
 The attempt to test the validity ot an unlueky sign by voluntarily and boldly trifing with it is a very foolish proceeding. It is. in it's way, as great a display of ignorance as Prof. Tyn- dall made when he proposed lis famous prayer-gauge. You cannot test the value of prayer in any such way, neither can you prove that to sit down at dinner with twelve persons besides yourself is unlucky by simply doing it.
 Everybody knows that if thirteen people dine together the very worst kind of iIl-luck will follow. The mem bers of the Thirteen club have as- sumed that death is the invariable form in which the alleged ill-luck man. ifests itself, and as they have often dined together and as all of them are not yet dead, they assume that they have disproved the theory that thirteen is an unIucky number This assump- ton is utterly unwarranted. Ill-luck, like good-luck. can not be dictated to, and it is the very nature of ill-luck to manifest itself in unexpected ways.
 Has no ill-luck oVertaken the reck- less members of this fooluardly club? Did 20 enc of them lose money on the election, or in connection with jack pots that seemed outwardly fuli of promise bat proved in the end costly delusious? Has no one of them been afflicted with plumbers or gas iaspee- tors, and nave all of them escaped sickness or matrimony or visits from undesirable relatives, or sermons last ing forty-tive minutes? If they have suffered in these ways. how do they know that their sufferings are not di- rectly due to their audacious dinnersP
 Ill-luck chooses its own time for striking it's victims. If the members ! of the Thirteen club have as yet es- l capped, it does not follow that they are safe. Sooner or later the results oi their criminal folly will be apparent. They will know what iIl-luck is if they i live long enough, and when they come to die they will have the bitter retiec
 tion that if they had respected whai they call ''the thirteen superstition
 they might perhaps have lived longer --AeW Y0r6 IsmcS.

 Under the direction of the New Y~.S State Board of Health, eighty-four diff ferent kinds of baking powders, embrac- ing all the brands that could be found examination and analysis by Prof. c. F. Chandler, member of the State Board and President of the New York City Board of Health, assisted by Prof Ed ward G. Love, the well known United States government chemist.
 The official report shows that large number of the powders examined were found to contain alum or lime; many of them to such an extent as to render them seriously objectionable for use in the preparation of human food.
 Alum was found in twenty sam pies This drug is employed in baking powders to cheapen thelr cost. The presence of lime is attributed to the im- pure cream of tartar of commerce used In their manufacture. Such cream of tartar was also analYzod and found to contain lime and other impurities, in some samples to tho extent of g per cent of i!,eir entire weight.
 All the baking powders Of the market, with the single exception of "Royal' (not including the alum and phosphate powders, which long since discdrdle ed as unsafe or inefficient by prudent house. keepsrs), are made from the impure cream of tartar of commerce. and conse- quently contain lime to a corresponding exiens.
 The only baking powder yet found by chemical analysis to be entirely free from lime aud absolutely pure is the Royal" This perfect puiisy results from the exclusive use of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared by patent processes which totally remove the tar tratc of lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar Is much greater than any other, and on account of this greater cost is used in na bakingpowder but the Royal. J
 Prof. Love, who made the analysis of baking powders for the New York State Board of Health, as we'll as for the gov ernment, says of the purity and whole someness of the Royal"
 q have tested a package Of Royal Baking Powder, which I purchased in the open market, and find it composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder of high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or phospilates or any injurious sub- stance. E G LOVE, PH. D."

 l suppose there is ar immense amount of misery in some li,es. There is some in all. The other day, early in the morning, a friend of ,uine went in- to the reading-room of the free library to look at a paper. It was engaged. He went back to work, and worked on until lunch time, when he walked into the library once more. The same man sat there reading the same paper. He thought it was curious, but he did not disturb him. He went agaln at 8 o'clock. The same man sat iu the same place reading the same paper. He walked up behind him and took look. The paper was upside down. There is chance for speculation over what condition that mans mind was in. The successful man of business would naturally say he was lazy and lacked energy, and would dcspise lim. It is so easy to believe because you make money easily everybody ought 10 be able to do it. l am a believer in luck. have seen great many men whose abilities were far beyond the average, whose energy was uncoasing. struggle, and fight, and work, and-f;iil. have
 
 hungry, starving half the time, upon whom their successful fellows looked with contempt, who were purely the victims of bad luck. They are men who never complain. If you meet a man who whines over his condition and his luck you may set him down as entirely at fault himself. But the charity of this world takes DO account of temperament, of physical conditions, prof mefStal lecccntricitics. Some peo- pie are broken all to pieces by shocks that would hardly effect others. Some people will break where others only bend. There arc good Samaritans to- day. as 2,000 years ago, but the good Samaritans of this age gre very apt to pick up the wrong man, anu there are many lying by the wayside.
 W ho Is to say what misery this man who sat for seven hours with the paper upside down was enduring? Who can say what he was thinking about-how many accusations he was making against himself-how grateful Ee was even for the convenience that reading room afforded him to be quiet and hidden? There are many men wan dering through San Francisco. They are kicked from bar-room to bar-room; they are driven from post 10 pillar. They are called bummcrs and loafers. Many of them have gone toe far to be drawn back to responsibility. But somehow the worst of them can offer some excuse for his downfall A wise dispensation of Providenca has dead ened their sense of shaDr and made them forget the life of brightness, of manhood, they once led. And nobody is so hard on them a5 those who helped them to their rGin-- nobody so kind to them as those who have en- dured poverty and hanger themselves. San fTGHcfsco Chroa c{e

The Enterprise Sold.

We have sold the ENTERP RISE newspa DOT anl all ths mlterial and apparatus used in it's publication fo Rou. R. c. Brown. formerly of the Tucson Citizen, and Hon. George w Brown, the present editor of that paper They will take charge of the paper on the 7th (to-day), and all outstanding accounts at that date must be paid to them, and all oGtstand- ing indebtedness of the paper at that date will be promptly paid by the under signed. In taking leave of the ENTER PRISE 1t would not be amiss, perhaps, to say that i. has been one of the most suc- cessful weekly newspapers ever published in Arizona, and the fact is a pleasant one for Us to reflect upon. We started in six years ago with cash capital of s5, aud as q time when Florence had reached the lowest ebb of prosperity. We pushed the paper through the first three years by working about IF hours per day. After those three years 1t began to pay handsomely and soon enabled us to pay for the plant aud accumulate property beside. We sjld the plant to the Messrs Brown for S3,0O0 cash, and could not have been induced to sell st that figure had we not had other business requiring our undivided attention. It is not our intention to leave Florence. We have too much faith Tn Pinal county to pitch our tent elsewhere. In conclusion, we dssire to sincerely thank those who have been 30 liberal in their patronage, and wish to assure them that our gratitude snd appreciation does not end with our retirement from the papsr. We ask for the new proprietors ths same liberal sup port given the old editor They are both first class and experienced newspa- DOT men, and will make the ENTrRPRIsE credit ns well as benefit to the com munity in which it is published.

As He Was Saying.

At one of the theaters the other eve ming a man who had a seat between his wife and daughter left it at the close of an act for trip down stairs. When he returned he found a vacant seat two rows back between two wo- men, and dropped into it with the re- mark:
 "As was saying when l went out, it's none of your pudding what other women wear. Because some one else makes fool of herself by wearing cot ton stockings in the winter, it doesn't t follow that you must do the same.
 "Sir! came from both sides of him at once, and the way he vacated that seat made the soes of his boots red-hot. -DctrOi Free Press.

AS WE have received great many in- quiries about the temperature here, we have procured from the old records cf the Signal Service office record of the weather during the years the oiH>s was kept here Tn order to make this report clear to our readers we will state that there are three benches of land here, and that from the highest to the lowest bench the temperature varies from six to ten degrees iu the winter For convenience we will classify them as the first, second aud third benches. The first bench is the river bottom, extending from the river to the north end of town. Here the land rises about six feet, and pre- serves uniform height till 1t reaches the south end of town, forming the sac ond bench. Then it rises several feet aud stretches away toward the Picacho mountains with regularly increasing grade, forming the third bench, or what is known locally as the mesa. This third bench IS the one covered by the new ca nal, and will be the future fruit land of the valley. The oldest settler here has never seen frost upon this third bench, or mesa. We give the temperature for the three benches, as follows: The low est recorded temperature fvam 1879 to 1882 was: First bench, 1879, 19 degrees; second bench, q degrees; third bench, % degrees; 1880, first bench, 20 degrees; second bench 23 degrees; third bench, 26 degrees; 1881, first beuch 2l degrees second beuch, 24 degrees; third bench 30 degrees; 1882, first bench, 26 degrees second bench, 2S degrees; third bsnch 32 degrees. The mean temperature O the three benches from 1874 to 1S3. vas as follows; January 49.5, FebruaI. 539, March 59, April 66.4, May TAG June st0, July S9.7, August 87, 5, Sep tomber S1, October 69.2, November 59 l Dece mber 51.7. The hottest day dur ing the years above mentioned was 1l6 and there were two days recorded a 114, one day at III. Outside of thes four days the highest temperature re corded from 1874 to 1882, when the sig nal office closed, was I04 For the ber eft of Eastern readers wo will state tha owing to the drynoss of our atmospher 100 degrees is not as oppressive here a Is 80 degrees in the Atlantic States While spesking of this Weather rscor we will state that the lowest at Pheni during the years we have mentioned wa IS and the highest I2I, hence the recor is in favor of Florence, both suDmc end Wiusvr.

A Boston correspondent of the New Orleans TtnleS-DeW0crGt says of Char les Egbcrt Craddock" (Miss Mary \. Murfree): "She loves to work over her writing. She composes rapidly, strik- ing off scene after scene at white heat. Then she finishes, polishes. The Danc- ing Party at Harrison's Cove was written in one day, and then worked upon for three weeks. She condenses her manuscript, sometimes reducing 1t to one-third its original dimensions. She wrote her first two stories, she tells me, when she was 17 and 19, respect lively. They were society stories. and were accepted by magazine that in sisted upon more, but she almost im- mediately discarded them as unworthy of her, and refused to continue in that vein"
